  Trees 1 - 10 Irish Yew: Proposed work to reduce height from 10' to their original 4' thick bush format, and pollard sides where overhanging lawn and graves. This will be done in increments to minimise harm to the tree. This is part of a renewal programme to reinvigorate the churchyard - making it healthier and more amenable to a variety of flora and insects; to make it a lighter and less gloomy place; and to protect the fabric of the building which is becoming damp.
